If I want to search for something near me, adding a city name to the search string is easy enough.

I can't imagine willingly allowing anyone I know to stalk me, and I'm certain I don't want unknown web sites to do so either.

So the question for those enthusiastic about this feature, I have One Question: What would you see this offering you in exchange for surrendering your privacy?

I have an app that uses WebKit that was just rejected because it did not work with these APIs properly in 3.0. The problem is I can't find any documentation, or even an example website where I can go to reproduce the problem and catch the error. If anybody knows the full URL for the website in the screenshot, please post it.</p> This would have been a great article for me about a week ago.

I really wish Safari would ask permission for location information for each site. At this point it's not clear whether this will be the case. If it's just a one-time permission for any and all websites to access my location, I'll be choosing "Don't Allow."
